although this is the epicenter of the violence that is taking place, all eyes are in cairo, egypt. the head of egypt's intelligence has met with lead others palestinian factions. they say they're committed to a ceasefire under two conditions. one is that israel promises or at least pledges or guarantees that it will not resume targeted assassination and the deliberate killing of palestinian leaders and a lifting of the blockade and siege that has been imposed on gaza since 2006, which has restricted the free movement of people and goods and has really created a humanitarian crisis here. so they want to see that siege lifted. the egyptian, we understand, are expected to or may have actually communicated that to the israelis. and so it is now dependent on whether or not they can get the two sides to a cessation of hostilities, and when that time frame would unfold. so there is still no clear official timeline or clear answer, and no clear commitment from either side. but those interest demands as we understand them as they are being negotiated from the palestinian side. >> all right.

more clashes in egypt over the weekend as police use tear gas this morning to disburse protesters in cairo. i want to start there. we have "new york times" columnist david brooks and our own andrea mitchell. andrea, this is because president morsi has seized power, a day after brokering a cease-fire between israel and hamas, he is now consolidating power. how worry side the administration about it? >> very worried, but they are very, very cautious because he is their new point of leverage really with hamas. he is the future, they thought, of trying to negotiate something and revive the israeli-palestinian talks. and now suddenly he seizes power. he was looking for this opportunity. he is threatened by the judiciary and the other mubarak forces who have, he believes, stopped the constitutional process and stymied that. but for him to do this now, at his point of greatest authority, puts the administration in a bind. and it's unclear how this is going to resolve. >> david brooks, there's a larger strategic question. there's egypt, gaza, syria, iran. there's a president's second term that's g

when he was speaking there in cairo, at the same time it was just after a building used by palestinian media inside gaza had been struck by israeli missiles. inconceivable to think back to 2008 and 2009 that hosni mubarak and egypt would have given such a platform to call he'd to speak out as this was unraveling and developing inside gaza, so i think at the moment we're hearing posturing because the stakes and the political scenario has changed, but, of course, we apply very rationale thinking to this, and in times of conflict, sometimes that rationale thinking goes out of the window, but how do you back away from what could be a very costly in terms of lives, conflict as opposed to backing out of it now. it does seem that people are taking a breath talking about the possibility of a cease-fire now rather than going for that military assault on the ground. it will be so hard to pull back from, suzanne. >> we certainly hope it can be resolved in a diplomatic way. thank you, nick. appreciate it. >>> shooting missiles out of the sky to save lives on the ground. we want to show you how isr
